No Common Sense:
Author: Lucy Furr
Publisher: Archway Publishing
ISBN: 1665756926
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
You are cordially invited to participate in my absurd but heartfelt attempt to help save this nation from corruption, stupidity, and evil beings of one sort or another. No Common Sense is a genre-bending political satire-based update of Founding Father Thomas Paine’s original Common Sense. An argument and a declaration for independence and freedom from a totalitarian king. Using my fake but funny original concept, a reality fairytale about Donald Trump and the big bad government, I try to enlighten and humor my readers about the need to stand up to a terminally corrupt and authoritarian federal government. Our unique freedoms and rights as American citizens are in danger. Like the classic Common Sense, No Common Sense is concise, around 34,000 words, and aspires to motivate Americans as the original did in 1776. A couple hundred million people either love or love to hate Donald Trump, and would be interested in this book. Whether you love or hate him, he is currently being piled on by our out-of-control federal government. He has been persecuted, harassed, and setup for the past eight years. If an ex-president of the United States and current front-runner for a second term can be targeted for prosecution, then who is safe? He has been spied on, fraudulently setup numerous times, had his property raided, family and associates, including his attorneys, harassed, and threatened. Trump is now uniquely charged with crimes no one else has ever been charged with. He is eligible for well over 700 years in prison, if convicted. Imagine what the government could do to any one of us.

A Philosophical Dictionary
Common Sense
Author: Sophia Rosenfeld
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674057813
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 362
Book Description
Common sense has always been a cornerstone of American politics. In 1776, Tom Paine’s vital pamphlet with that title sparked the American Revolution. And today, common sense—the wisdom of ordinary people, knowledge so self-evident that it is beyond debate—remains a powerful political ideal, utilized alike by George W. Bush’s aw-shucks articulations and Barack Obama’s down-to-earth reasonableness. But far from self-evident is where our faith in common sense comes from and how its populist logic has shaped modern democracy. Common Sense: A Political History is the first book to explore this essential political phenomenon. The story begins in the aftermath of England’s Glorious Revolution, when common sense first became a political ideal worth struggling over. Sophia Rosenfeld’s accessible and insightful account then wends its way across two continents and multiple centuries, revealing the remarkable individuals who appropriated the old, seemingly universal idea of common sense and the new strategic uses they made of it. Paine may have boasted that common sense is always on the side of the people and opposed to the rule of kings, but Rosenfeld demonstrates that common sense has been used to foster demagoguery and exclusivity as well as popular sovereignty. She provides a new account of the transatlantic Enlightenment and the Age of Revolutions, and offers a fresh reading on what the eighteenth century bequeathed to the political ferment of our own time. Far from commonsensical, the history of common sense turns out to be rife with paradox and surprise.
